dendrometry: Forest Estimations and Dendrometric Computations

Computation of dendrometric and structural parameters from forest inventory data. The objective is to provide a user-friendly R package for researchers, ecologists, foresters, statisticians, loggers and other persons who deal with forest inventory data. The package includes advanced distribution fitting capabilities with multiple estimation methods (Maximum Likelihood, Maximum Product Spacing with ties correction methods following Cheng & Amin (1983), and Method of Moments) for probability distributions commonly used in forestry. Visualization tools with confidence bands using delta method and parametric bootstrap are provided for three-parameter Weibull distribution fitting to diameter data. Useful conversion of angle value from degree to radian, conversion from angle to slope (in percentage) and their reciprocals as well as principal angle determination are also included. Position and dispersion parameters usually found in forest studies are implemented. The package contains Fibonacci series, its extensions and the Golden Number computation.
